Announcement comes after Canada expelled Zhao Wei over allegations he tried to intimidate a lawmaker
Beijing will expel a Canadian diplomat from Shanghai in a retaliatory move after Canada expelled a Chinese official over allegations he tried to intimidate a Canadian lawmaker who was critical of China’s treatment of its Uyghur Muslim minority.
China’s ministry of foreign affairs made the announcement on Tuesday after it had vociferously objected to Ottawa’s expulsion of Zhao Wei, who Canadian intelligence accused of targeting lawmaker Michael Chong and his family.
